My New Learning
I never realized that there were so many sources of Internet radio. I am an avid user of Pandora. I can't wait to try out some of the others.

Technology of the Future
“Facetime, Definition for Every Phone”
Facetime is a video calling software feature for the iPhone 4 developed by Apple. It is a feature that can be used by callers who have the iPhone as a means of having a face-to-face conversation. When I purchased my iPhone, I researched the way to use this feature on my phone. Even though the process of using Facetime is an easy one, I had to read the instructions on how to use it effectively.
Fifty years from now, it will seem silly that anyone had to read the instructions on how to use a feature similar to Facetime. It is my belief that at this time, all phones will have cameras on them, regardless of who the manufacturer of it is. I also feel that when you are home and your phone rings, that your picture, including your location, will automatically appear on the television screen. I feel that these operations will be standard and will not require an upgrade.
This technology will help ease some to the problems with global warming and other transportation issues as it will make the use of video-conferencing, personal or public, easy. I also feel that this upgrade to Facetime, and other similar applications, will help to minimize terrorist threats as it tracks the locations of all individuals.
Wow! This will surely be an interesting era in our lives.
